Father of Sandy Hook Victim Speaks out


Posted: Jan 29, 2013

...and before you argue that it's "faux news" and fake, please be aware that Yahoo and some of the other posts has the SAME video from Megyn Kelley. I think the father appeared before the CT legislature. Of course, this has NOT been picked up by MSM because it's not part of Obama's agenda.

It seems like you think it's a secret, but it's not. I am a proponent of gun control, yet I think this parent was brave to share his view on the subject.

I didn't even hear anyone heckling him. I'd - call that civility. nm

pleading with Ct lawmakers to improve mental health options and to ban assault weapons like the one Adam Lanza used to murder his child and 25 other people. Pro-gun hecklers interrupted him.

No one thing is the answer.

Adam Lanza DID NOT use assault weapons - Truthhurts

He used a handgun and an AR-15 was found in the trunk of the car or in the back seat or wherever you want to believe. So many sites have different conclusions. Some say he used the AR-15 "assault weapon" (which the AR-15 in not an assault weapon, it's a semi-automatic rifle), others say he used 2 hand guns.

Will the truth EVER come out? Doubt it...not until gun control legislation is passed. The gov't will sit on that report until then.

Setting the Record Straight: Adam Lanza Did use the Bushmaster AR-15

"The media did a horrible job getting its facts and figures straight during and after the tragedy in Connecticut. Gun control advocates have seized on a lot of information and ignored a lot of information in an effort to push their agenda.

But I’m seeing gun rights supporters do the same. Most troubling, over the past week on radio filling in for Neal Boortz I’ve heard from dozens of callers, tweeters, Facebook friends, and email correspondents assuring me that Adam Lanza never used the AR-15 in his possession. Most people linked to a video purportedly showing the police retrieving the AR-15 from Adam Lanza’s car after the incident.

I don’t blame these people for getting the facts wrong. The media caused a lot of the misinformation in their rush to cover the story. But as the nation begins to set policy (or not) based on this random act of violence, we should all have our facts straight.

The fact is, Adam Lanza used a handgun to take his own life, but he relied on the Bushmaster AR-15 to kill most of the victims. He did use that gun. You don’t have to believe me. Believe Connecticut State Police Lt. Paul Vance:


The primary weapon used in the attack was a “Bushmaster AR-15 assault-type weapon,” said Connecticut State Police Lt. Paul Vance.

Let’s keep to the facts, not the grainy videos on YouTube purporting to show what is not true."
Here's the deal - bootstraps

What Truthhurts is saying is that the AR-15 is not an assault weapon. And it isn't. It's an assault-TYPE weapon. You can Google the "difference," but it really comes down to certain features designed to distinguish the two in order for people like Truthhurts to say it's not an assault weapon, but an assault-TYPE weapon.

It can still kill lots of people withing seconds, but it is only an assault-TYPE weapon.

I would elaborate more on more details regarding the difference, but you seem like a smart enough gal to do some research :-)

I understand... - tvc15
[ In Reply To ..]
but since neither "assault weapon" nor "assault-type weapon" are technical terms, I wanted to avoid gun semantics altogether. I believe the proper technical name for an AR-15 would be semiautomatic rifle.

I was hoping the link might be more accessible for some conservative posters who may have concerns regarding the reporting surrounding Sandy Hook.
